the office uninterru tedly thirty-eight

The children belonging to the infant

Cake and cream were served, while the

The phonograph is undoubtedly one

which comprises choice selections by
the U. S. Marine Band, the Wheeler &

ment to a wonderful degree of perfec-
tion.

TO- DA 1'.

I1 EAB INC S

The County Commissioners met at
the Council chamber this morning, and
heard the remonstrances against the
granting of licenses to Mrs. Mary
Creagh and William C. Jesse.

Rev. Mr. Biddle of the Congregation-
al church, conducted the examination
of Chas. H. Raymond, Station Agent
of the N. Y. N. H. S; H. R. R.

Mr. Raymond testified that in his
opinion the location of Mrs. Creagh’s
and Mr. J esss’s saloon were dangerous,
owing to the number of trains passing.
Upon cross-examination by Mr. Hurl-
butt for Mrs. Creagh, he admitted that
no serious accidents had occurred to
any one crossing from these saloons.
He also admitted that the railrood com-
pany could fence in their track and
thus prevent the danger to persons
crossing, if they so desired.

Mr. Eben Hill, upon examination by
Mr. Biddle stated qhat he had these
objections to the location of these
saloons : first, that it was objectionable
to men, women, and children to stand
opposite and view the condition of cus-
tomers coming out of these saloons;
second, that, in their present position
they are a menace to human life, either
sober or drunk; third, that they are
extremely objectionable for persons
standing on the depot platform, wit-
nessing people crossing and recrossing
the tracks with the liability of getting
run over. . ,

Upon cross-examination by Mr.
Frost for Mr. Jesse, he testified that he
had no information as to any one get-
ting hurt.

J. S. Dunning, ex-postmaster, was
the next witness, and upon examination
by Mr. Biddle, testified that he cen-
sidered the location of these saloons
dangerous, also because of the nuis-
ances of people on the opposite plat-
form were obliged to witness while
waiting for trains. '

, He considered the location of these ‘
saloons hellish. - .

When cross-examined by Mr. Hurl-
butt, witness made such a ridiculous
exhibition and so constantly contradict-
ed himself that his testimony amount-
ed to nothing. -

Mr. Charles F. Hallock, a member of
the city council, was the next examin—
ed, and upon examination by Mr. Bid-
dle testified that neither of these places
were adapted for liquor selling, he had
seen men cross under the influence of
liquor, and considered the location as
dangerous. On cross-examination by
Mr. Hurlbutt, he testified that the city
had never taken any steps to correct
this dangerous crossing, also that he '
had never seen anyone injured in. cros-
sing.

J. R. Marvin was the last witness
called before recess, and testified upon
examination of Mr. Biddle, that he
considered the place as a dangerous one
and not fit for saloons on account of
people crossing the track: he saw a
man killed there and considered it the
most dangerous place in the city:

On cross-examination by Mr. Hurl-
butt he stated that he did not consider
Washin ton street crossing as danger-
ous as t is crossing. As to the man
who was killed, it was 27 years ago and
at 3 o’clock in the morning; cou d not
tell which building he came out of, but
thou ht it the lower one; would not
testi y that a saloon was located in the
building at that time. -

The Commission adjourned until 2
o’clock. ,

An Italian has invented “an instan-
taneous, self-expanding, life-saving
belt,” so light'that it can be worn day
and night without the slightest incon-
venienc.—[Exchange.

What’s the matter with rigging up
our Connecticut candidates for gover-
nor, state senators and the like, with
one of these life-saving belts? Our
friend, Senator-elect John S. Seymour
should procure one without delay.
One of these safety contraptions is just
the thing he now needs. No one would
be able to wear it with more grace and
dignity and everybody would commend
his sagacity in wearing the safety-belt
till he is safe in his seat in the senate.

Tim O’Brien says when he 'went to
Bridgeport jail in July because he was
found sick from too much' of the breath
of old John Barleycorn, he stayed there
seventy-nine days, and notwithstanding
he asked the turnkey and other officials
of the jail several times what he was
there for and how long he’d got to stay,
he could get no answer. Tim thinks he

had a right to know these thingS, and

although he does not intend to sue the
county nor the town, nor the officers,
nor John Barleycorn, himself, in order
to obtain the desired information, he is
emphatic in his determination to , let
John alone in the future, and will obtain
satisfactory vengeance in that way.

Colonel Ferris died a little after noon
to-day at his home on the old Westport
road. He has long been in poor health,
but was not thought seriously ill until
quite recently. Colonel Ferris came to
Norwalk several years ago from Salem,
N. Y., where he had been for many
years a justice of the peace. He has
been a prominent character throughout
his long and eventful life.
